Praise for The Writing Irish of New York This collection of essays and remembrances is bursting at the seams with talent. Irish writers finding their voice in New York City is a long and revered tradition, and this book shows that tradition to be alive and well in the new century. If it's wit, wisdom and dazzling prose that you're looking for, The Writing Irish of New York will not disappoint. T.J. English, New York Times bestselling author of The Savage City This is a fascinating book which I read at one sitting--containing no end of insight, with chunks of unanticipated wisdom and the finest of contemporary writing. A delicious feast. Patrick McCabe, author of The Butcher Boy and Breakfast on Pluto This carefully curated collection of essays represents both the old guard and young guns on the New York literary scene, and feels like a true representation of the New York Irish experience. Almost all of these well written and insightful essays illustrate what's it feels like to be Irish-American as opposed to Irish-in-America. Kate Kerrigan, New York Times bestselling author of The Dress Here are extraordinary and vivid essays by and about many of the people who first spring to mind when you think of Irish writers and New York City: Frank McCourt and Brendan Behan, Maeve Brennan and Scott Fitzgerald, Eugene O'Neill and Jimmy Breslin. But the book's true delight, and it's revelation, are the surprising voices you may not have heard before: Malachy, the other McCourt brother, and his ball-breaking humor; Larry Kirwan, the bard of Black 47; Maura Mulligan, a dancer and a deeply authentic witness to the joy of discovering a creative life; Brian O'Sullivan, an off-the-boat plasterer by trade who happens to write with a Twain-like appreciation for the absurd truths of life; and Kevin Fortuna, a spellbinding storyteller with a newfound deep connection to the old country. There are many others, and their indelible portraits stick with you, and what you thought you knew about a people and a place becomes ever so much richer. John Kenney, Managing Editor, Esquire

Super fast delivery, great packaging, great seller!!! Not only was I able to get this book that had been recommended to me by a dear friend for a price I could afford…I read that the proceeds go to Israel which is a cause that is super close to my heart. Thank you for doing this. God bless you!!

Seller said book, for which she was asking a much lower than average price, was in "very good" condition. But when the book arrived, it actually appeared to be brand new! Seller not only gave me a bargain price for a book in pristine condition, but also provided me with a fabulous read. I've already recommended The Book Spy to several friends who, like me, love to read historical fiction.
